Hotel Bristol's Soupe de Courge a la Créme

Hotel Bristol's Soupe de Courge a la Creme:

1976, from my Best of the Best Recipes

I've made this Soup many times. I used to prepare it for Thanksgiving

It's a Cream of Pumpkin Soup (made, baked and served in the Pumpkin) The juice of the Pumpkin, as it bakes, adds a great flavor to the soup. This is made with your typical Halloween Pumpkin and not a
Sugar Pumpkin.

As mentioned above, cut off the top of the Pumpkin and reserve for an attractive cover when serving this Soup.

Scrape out the pumpkin using a large heavy spoon, remove the seeds, maintaining all of the meat of the pumpkin

Fill the shell of the Pumpkin 3/4 full with alternating layers of Croutons and Cheese

Season the Half and Half with Salt, Pepper and Nutmeg
Pour the mixture into the Pumpkin
Replace the top of the Pumpkin
Place it in a Roasting Pan
Bake in a pre-heated 350 degree Oven for 2 hours.
Stir occasionally

Carefully remove it from the oven to a serving platter, serve it from the Pumpkin, at the table

About Me

I'm always in pursuit of Peace on Earth and Peace in the Kitchen! I'm vegetarian and I've traveled the world. I have an extensive collection of recipes from family and friends around the world. I enjoy creating new recipes to enter in competition. I've been a finalist in the Dallas Morning News Holiday Cookie Baking contest for over 8 years and the local Central Market Hatch Chile competition. I started a collection of my favorite recipes in 1974 while living in Steamboat Springs,Colorado. I continued to collect my favorite recipes and called the collection the Best of the Best of my favorites. The Blog has exceeded my expectations. I had no idea that it would grow as quickly as it has. I dedicated the Blog to my Aunt Faye. She was a personal chef in Michigan. I have a vast collection of her recipes. Enjoy! Peace in the Kitchen!
